ZIONISTS VOTE TO COOPT NEW FORCES TO JEWISH AGENCY
.Reconciliation Efjforts with Brandeis-Mack'o Group Aban¬ doned for Present
WARBURG EXPECTS UNI¬ VERSITY TO OPEN APRIL
MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY HONORS JUDGE CARDOZO
BALTIMORE, (J, T. A.).--The 2Cth annual Zionist convention has just ended here. No great controversies), such as at the Cleveland meeting two years ago, wrought a cleavftge in the Zionist ranks nor the hotly contested question of reconciliation with the former leaders which marked the Phila¬ delphia arose to disturb the Baltimore Convention.
The paramount issues of this year's convention were the Jewish Agency and the World Congress. But both of these questions were debated frofti an intel¬ lectual plane and involved no question of pcrson,ilitics or leadership.
Tho Jewisli Congreas
By a vote of 154 to 10 the convention went on record in favor of the proposal introduced in behalf of the Administra¬ tion recommending that pending the con¬ vening of the Jewish \j/oM Congress the approaching Zionist Congress give the Zionist Executive power to establish immediately a Jewish Agency by inviting into its membership representatives of other Jewish organizations interested in the upbuilding of Palestine.
A counter proposal fathered by Abra¬ ham S. Schomer and supported by Ber¬ nard G. Richards and A. M, Seldin for the early convening of the World Con¬ gress with the provision that in the meantime the Zionists act as the Agency- was defeated.
the convention's attitude towards the World Congress appeared to be summed np in the worlds of Dr. Weizmann who, - addressing the convention on the sub¬ ject ; declared "The call for a wdrld . Congress will come from Palestine when , .WE DOUBLE THE JEWISH POPU¬ LATION THERE, . ' , ¦ ,' ".U certain circles who v/ere formerly "H's'i:' ^iJ^-^ii'B'J'.^' arc.coiningar^und .tjoW;" Dr. J
i> ^' Uiialzini" li^'coine'to Palestine in the last two or three years."
During the debate on the question, however. Dr. Weizmann refrained from expressing any opinion. It was only when the results of the ballot were an¬ nounced that he took the floor and iii a speech lasting over an hour and which hqW the undivided attention of his hearers, despite its delivery at one-thirty in the morning, Dr. Weizinann declared that he was in sympathy with the deci¬ sion of the convention regarding the World Congress as expressed by their vote.
Dr. Weizmann told of the many hard¬ ships which the Zionist organization had weathered during the past year. "An¬ other such year would break the back¬ bone of the organization. God only knows what would happen if Palestine last Easter had been in the same posi¬ tion as in January," he said referring to the recent financial crisis.
"Zionists hoped," he said, "that the Balfour Declaration, the San Remo De¬ cision and the ratification of the Man¬ date had made the way open for smooth sailing. Instead of that one crisis had followed another, necessitating his com¬ ing to America to raise money to bal¬ ance the budget."
Morris Rolhenberg Report The convention, vvhile leaving the door open to all engaged in Zionist endeavors, ended for the time being all negotiations towards a rapprochement vvith the Brandeis group by discharging the rec¬ onciliation committee appointed by the Philadelphia convention. The action of the convention followed the report of Morris Rothenberg, Chairman of the Reconciliation Cominittee. who declared that efforts towards bridging of the chasm between the Zionist organization and the Palestine Development Council had produced no palpable results. Mr. Rothenberg declared, that while he, as chairrnan of the committee, had imme¬ diately following the last convention requested Judge Mack to appoint a similar committee, the P. D. C. failed to make any response until November 29. The first meeting of the representa¬ tives, of the tvvo groups, took place on December 4th. While the P. D. C.'s representatives appointed to negotiate wcre all Zionists, they insisted on deal¬ ing exclusively on non-Zionist measures, Mr. Rothenberg said. Finally, the P. D. C, agreed to consider cooperation on the Rutenberg project, appointing Julius Simon and Samuel Rosensohn to con¬ fer with him and Louis Robison, repre¬ senting the Zionist organization, These negotiations, however, were brought to an abrupt termination by Julius Simon, vi^ho wrote the change in financing the {Contludgd Ofi page 6.)

Il vvas stressed that the Johit Distribu¬ tion Committee was a temporary or¬ ganization with the definite aim of pro¬ viding relief for war sufTerers, and could not continue its activities for an in¬ definite period. Work would continue so long as there were means and until everything had been successfully liqui¬ dated, and would be carried on together with those Jewish organizations with whom it had been working heretofore.. Medical relief vvork of the J. D. C. has been completed i^i all countries and no new activities ard being undertaken in this direction. The hospit.ils and sanitation institutions that have been organized will remain the charge of the local Jewish communities.

NEW YORK, June-25. The high esteem in which the Jevvs of New York' held Morris Rosenfeld, famous Yiddish poet, editor and playwright, vvas-evi¬ denced yesterday when more than 10,000 persons turned out to pay tribute to him at the funeral services held in the audi¬ torium of the Jevvish Forward Building, 173 East Broadway.
From 7 o'clock in the morning until 11:15, vvhen the " services began, thou¬ sands filed past the bier, which lay in state in the center of the auditorium.
The ceremonies began with chanting of Psalms of the Jewish burial rites by Cantor Hercshman, after which there were addresses of eulogy by many of the best known Jevvish writers and edi¬ tors in New York, all members of the Jewish Writers' Club, under whose au¬ spices the services were held.
Among these were H. Rogoff, presi¬ dent of the Club, Morris Winshefsky, Jevvish poet; K. Mauinour, Leo Kobrin; Alexander Harkavy, A. Sachs, Men- achem, the poet; Reuben Brainin and others.-
Following the services the body was escorted through East Broadway to Clinton Street, and north .to the Wil¬ liamsburg Bridge and then to Mount Carmel Cemetery, where interment vvas in the Jewish Writers' Plot.
In view of Austria's need for interna¬ tional financial assistance, it is not be¬ lieved that any out-spoken anti-Semite such as Pangerman will be given the position.
